Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has promised a brighter future for Ghanaians under his leadership, while criticizing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for their lack of vision and “Guinea fowl” politics.
Speaking during a community engagement at Gbintiri in the Nalerigu/Gambaga constituency, Dr. Bawumia touted the NPP’s achievements in government, including the implementation of Free SHS, mobile money interoperability, and the use of drones to deliver medical supplies.
He contrasted the NPP’s people-centered approach with the NDC’s focus on “Guinea fowls that fly away and little hen coops,” a reference to the NDC’s perceived lack of substance and vision.
Dr. Bawumia promised that the next NPP government under his leadership would build on the foundation laid by President Nana Akufo-Addo and implement policies to stimulate business and industry, provide faster and improved healthcare, and improve the lives of ordinary Ghanaians.
He also slammed the NDC for their lack of ideas, saying, “We in NPP have the vision and the ideas to transform Ghana, unlike our opponents who are only interested in Guinea fowls that fly away and little hen coops. Our record of development in the north is unmatched and there for all to see, from the creation of new regions to the provision of schools, water, roads, hospitals and many more.”
Dr. Bawumia’s promises and criticisms have sparked a lively debate in the political sphere, with many Ghanaians expressing their support for his vision and others criticizing his attacks on the NDC.
